By

Sam Olens, Georgia's attorney general, was on Wednesday named president of Kennesaw State University. Olens was the sole candidate considered and had the backing of leaders of the University System of Georgia. The announcement of his appointment made no mention of opposition to his candidacy from faculty and student groups concerned about the lack of a national search, Olens's lack of experience working in higher education and some positions he has taken that are viewed as antigay.
